Lay It Off

Before you call it quits on a painted room, take a look around to examine the walls. Even if you’ve got what appears to be an ideal amount of paint on every wall, there's still one last step to take for the perfect finish. Run your roller across each wall one last time in long, even strokes to make sure the finish is uniform. Not only will this simple step give you a flawless finish, but it could save you the trouble of extra touch-ups down the line.
